Lower Rhine Museum in Kevelaer

Dr. Georg and Eva Ratermann Collection

In 2021, the Verein für Museumsförderung Kevelaer e.V. received a donation from Dr. Georg and Eva Ratermann of Mühlheim an der Ruhr. This multifaceted private art collection includes a wide variety of objects from different eras and genres. Initially, part of the collection will be made accessible to the public, and at the same time, the restoration process of various objects will be incorporated into the exhibition’s curatorial narrative. Since January 15, 2023, works of art dating from the 18th century through World War II have been on display. Works by the artists Wilhelm Lehmbruck, Otto Mueller, Josef Scharl, and Theodor Rocholl can be found on the walls of the newly designed permanent exhibition space.
